Question:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I sold a car to a customer stating on the contract sold as is. If the customer discovers a fault after 1 week is it compulsory for me to take back the car and refund the customer ? Can I take a rent for using the vehicle that the customer is returning ?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As-sal\u0101mu \u2018alaykum wa-rahmatull\u0101hi wa-barak\u0101tuh.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When selling a product, it should be free of any defects and faults. The seller must exercise honesty and inform the buyer of any of any defects he knows of.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hakim bin Hizam (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) said: “Both parties in a business transaction have a right to annul it so long as they have not separated; and if they tell the truth and make everything clear to each other (i.e., the seller and the buyer speak the truth, the seller with regard to what is purchased, and the buyer with regard to the money) they will be blessed in their transaction, but if they conceal anything and lie, the blessing on their transaction will be eliminated.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].<\/span><\/p>\n

Therefore the seller is not allowed to hide the defect of the goods, as it constitutes cheating which is prohibited in Shari\u2019ah.<\/span><\/p>\n

If a seller sells a defective or faulty item without declaring it, the purchaser has a right to cancel the transaction. This is known as Khiyarul Aib (Right of defect). The defect or fault must have existed while the item being sold was in the possession of the seller and the deficiency such which is considered a defect in the market practice and depreciates the value of the goods[1]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if the seller gives the responsibility of inspecting the item to the purchaser and absolves himself of any defects or faults, and the buyer accepts, then the purchaser will not have a right to cancel or return should he discover a fault in the item sold[2]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If this was stated in the contract of the sale, then you will not be obliged to take back the car. If however, you decide to take back the car, it will not be permitted to take a rent for the usage of the vehicle for the week.[3]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

N.B. If the seller takes sympathy on the buyer and agrees to revoke the sale and refund him, he will be greatly rewarded. Rasool (sallallahu \u2018alaihi wasallam) said, \u201cWhoever cancels the sale of a regretful person, Allah will forgive his sins on the Day of Qiyaamah.(Sunan Ibn Majah 2199)<\/span><\/p>\n
